Splinter's name was originally a parody of Elecktra's sensei called Stick, his personality was possibly borrowed as well.
The Turtles personalites were all based on the X-Men.
Leo = Cyclops, Raph = Wolverine, Don = Beast, Mike = Iceman/Nighcrawler
Not sure about height, but Wolverine who is Raph's model for personality is only 5'3".
No history of the Elite that I know of. But the TMNT make a deal with Karai to kill the Elite in exchange for the Foot never bothering the TMNT again in the Mirage version of City at War, which is the biggest comics story to feature the Elite I think.
The canister of ooze is the same one that hits Daredevil in the accident which causes him to go blind before bouncing into the sewers and mutating the baby Turtles.
The Turtles use each other's weapons in the 2K3 episode What a Croc. Raph uses Leo's sword. Don uses Raph's sai. Leo uses Don's bo. Mike uses some makeshift tonfa. They all seem pretty equal with each other's weapons. Don can't twirl a sai like Raph, but he has just as good aim.
